Today’s Anniversary: The Telephone Book

It's February 21, and on this date in 1878, the first telephone book was issued to residents of New Haven, Connecticut. For years, the most common way for students to get help from us would be to use their telephone book, find our number and call us, but recently that has changed. Students can still call us at 708-418-2800 during regular business hours or 866-260-7221 around the clock, but now they can email the appropriate department and expect a reply within one business day. Many students find email communication more convenient, and so we are happy to provide this service to them. Students should log into the Online Student Center and click on the "Contact the American School" link to receive a list of departmental email addresses. Whether by phone or by email, we are happy to provide caring student service to all of our students!
